Should I do it /o/? http://mankato.craigslist.org/cto/5 593815357.html

That for 1200? I'm very suspicious that something is wrong . . . Go and ask about it, if it feels good (and objectively looks good and runs good) then get it.

says it needs some work on one of the front hubs, but that it runs very well.

I like the idea of all of the new edelbrock parts on the engine.

As one of the anons who owns a square body, something is wrong for that price.

Check it head to toe for rust or botched repairs on it all over, frame to cab to windows and floor pans. Seems fishy to have newer parts and still be that price, but by all means go look at it.


In my experience anyone who would paint something camo doesn't give a shit beyond loud exhaust and big tires so maintenance and the body/frame/drivetrain suffer.


If the body and frame isnt fucked, and you have the money and means, a brand new warrantied 350 is $1499 free shipping to your door from summit, with an edelbrock 600cfm carb and headers you're looking at 230-250 at the crank, more if you spend the extra $800 for the 290hp base crate 350.

I couldn't sell my completely cherry 1990 that ran perfectly down to the rear A/C for $2000, $1200 sounds about right for a rattlecanned shitheap. The Blazers and pickups are way more desirable.

Holy shit really? I helped a friend search for a tow vehicle in Cali, there wasn't a burb in sight for under $3000 at the time. Granted, they paid $5000 and it was one owner, dealer records from day one, less than 50k on a new 454 and rebuilt trans, with a gear vendor unit and airbags in the rear from when it was used to tow a horse trailer.

To be fair I was trying to sell it when gas was $4/gallon, but there just wasn't much interest, one of the few cars that would be easier to sell in a rural area. It was great though, TBI sucks but other than that they are well built machines.

holy fuck I want that so badly

I have yet to see one of those things that isn't rusted to shit with a collapsed rear suspension, and that includes examples that were babied to the extreme. What's your secret? Did you just never drive it?

It ran like a top but the hood didn't latch, none of the doors latched properly and it needed some suspension and 4wd work done.

Wouldve definitely been worth the price if you had a shop and a lot of time. Wasn't worth it to me though

>>15271368
It had 240k miles on it, I only put about 10k on it, mostly camping trips. Just lived in California it's whole life.

>>15271797
Sounds about normal for the price, sorry anon. The latches are pretty easy fixes, depends what was wrong with the suspension and 4wd though. Keep an eye on the 73-87s they're all over and usually can be had at a good price if you get on the ones that haven't sat for months on CL.


I'd recommend joining something like northwest c10s or similar square groups if youre serious about finding one.

Whaddup MN Bro?
Yeah, you totally should. I bought my Suburban for $1100, and all it needed was a tune up and a window regulator
There are deals out there, you just have to play devil's advocate.

Howdy

I checked it out, way to many little problems to justify getting it.

No kidding on that suburban, looks clean


Gonna go look at this yukon tomorrow. Seems like a lot more sound investment

None of the dash gauges worked either.

I love fixing stuff, working on older vehicles and it was a sweet truck but all those small repairs would've drove me insane.
